COOK-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,472, dated March23,1886.

Application filed October 27, 1885. Serial No. 181,101. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NATHAN O. Bonn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Fairfax Court-House, in the county of Fairfax and State ofVirginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAttachments for Cook-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

This invention has relation to 'attachments for cooking-stoves, wherebyalight or wood fire may be started andthe ordinary draft passage or flueof the stove'utilized to carry off the products of combustion; and thesame consists in the construction of parts hereinafter named, and in theparticular combinations thereof, to be also hereinafter described,

and pointed out in the claims.

I accomplish my object by the means illustratedin the accompanyingdrawing, in which the figure represents a side elevation of an ordinarycooking-stove, partly in section, and having an attachment constructedin accordancewith the principles of my invention secured thereto, thesame being in section.

In carrying my invention into effect, I provide the attachment of aconstruction by which,

when properly secured to the stove proper,

the chamber in which the light or wood fire is to be started shall bebrought on a lower horizontal plane than the top of the stove itself, sothat the products of combustion will be permitted to follow as nearanatural course in their passage to the exit-flue as they would ifgenerated in the stove itself, the attachment being intended for lightor summer cooking, when but a comparatively small fire is needed.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by the letters marked thereon, Arepresents a cooking-stove of ordinary construction, and B designates anattachment embodying my invention. lhis attachment ordinarily consistsof a chamber whose bottom a is sunken or depressed so as to be broughtbelow the top of the stove when properly attached thereto, and at thefront is provided with a draft-opening,

b. The top of the attachment orsupplemental chamber is formed withsuitable openings, as shown, over which the kettle and saucepan to beheated are placed, and said top terminates at the rear with a lug,c,which fits under the surrounding edge of the opening in the stove-top,and thus secures the attachment to the stove. The bottom a of theattachment extends upwardly and outwardly, as shown, forming anextension, d, in which an opening, e, is formed for communication,through the stove top opening, with the draft-passage f of the stove,and thence to the exit-flue g. The course of the products of combustionis indicated by the arrows.

XVhat I claim is- 1. The fire-box provided with an extension at the rearon a level with its top and having a securing-lug, said fire-box andextension having holes in the top of the same, and the firebox providedwith a draft-openingin thefront, and the extensionwith an opening on itsunder side, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a cooking-stove, of the supplemental fire-boxB, provided with the extension a, having the securing-lug C, saidfire-box and extension havingholesin the top of the same, and thefire-box provided with a draft-opening in the front, and the extensionwith an opening on its under side, substantially as set forth.

3. A fire-box having an extension on alevel with the top of the same,but of less depth, the top of both being provided with openings for thereception of cooking-utensils, the said firebox having a draft-openingat its front, and the extension having an opening and a lug on '85 itsunder side, whereby the fire-box may be connected with a cooking-stoveand have a portion of the same below the top plate of said stove, as andfor the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

NATHAN o. Bonn.
